The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, UC Irvine

Undergraduate Student Site

Mathematics and Basic Science Courses: Mathematics 2A-B, 2D, 2J, 3D, and 2E; Chemistry 1A and 1LA; Physics 7A-B-D-E, 7LA-LB-LD, 51A-B, 52A-B-C; Engineering EECS145 or Mathematics 114A.

Engineering Topics Courses: Students must complete each of the following courses and accumulate a minimum of 28 units of engineering design, including at least one course with more than 50 percent design content: Engineering ENGR54 or ENGR80, EECS10, EECS31, EECS31L, EECS70A, EECS70B, EECS 70LB, EECS140, EECS150A, EECS150B, EECS160A, EECS160LA, EECS170A, EECS170LA, EECS170B, EECS170LB, EECS170C, EECS170LC, EECS170D (OR EECS115), EECS180, EECS189A-B. Students select, with the approval of a faculty advisor, any additional engineering topics courses needed to satisfy school and department requirements.

Technical Elective Courses: Students select, with the approval of a faculty advisor, a minimum of four technical elective courses. Students may select an area of specialization and complete the associated requirements, as shown below.

At most an aggregate total of 6 units of 199 or H199 courses may be used to satisfy degree requirements; 199 and H199 courses are open to students with a 3.0 GPA or higher.

(The nominal Electrical Engineering program will require 195 units of courses to satisfy all university and major requirements. Because each student comes to UCI with a different level of preparation, the actual number of units will vary.)

Specialization in Electro-optics and Solid-State Devices: 11 units selected from Engineering EECS170D (if not used to satisfy major requirements), EECS174, EECS175A-B, EECS187, EECS188, EECS198 (Special Topics in Electro-optics or Solid State Materials/Devices), EECS199 or EECSH199 (up to 3 units).

Specialization in Power Systems: 12 units selected from Engineering EECS160B, EECS161, EECS161L, EECS163, EECS163L, EECS166A, EECS166B, EECS199 or EECSH199 (up to 3 units).

Specialization in Systems and Signal Processing: 12 units selected from Engineering EECS101, EECS141, EECS152A, EECS152B, EECS160B, EECS163, EECS163L, EECS198 (Special Topics in Computer Graphics or Digital Signal Processing Laboratory), or EECS199 or EECSH199 (up to 3 units).
